Bikol and Bikolnon both refer to the people, culture, and language of the Bicol region. The
term “Bikol” could have been derived from “Bico,” the name of a river that drains into San
Miguel Bay. Possible origins also include the bikul or bikal bamboo trees, which line rivulets,
and the ancient native word bikod (twisted or bent).
Administratively known as Region V, the Bicol region is located on the southeastern end of
Luzon. It is surrounded by the Visayan Sea in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east, Lamon
Bay in the north, and Sibugan Sea and Quezon province in the west. It comprises six provinces:
Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, and Masbate.
